Exceptions for disaster areas
Following the floods in Wallonia in 2021, the federations InitiativES, Fédération des CPAS and Concertes called for IDESS to be allowed to provide more help in disaster areas. The idea is for recognised IDESSs to fully support disaster victims by carrying out the necessary work after disasters such as floods.
For disaster areas, the scope of small-scale work is extended to a whole room, or even a whole floor if it is entirely affected. Your priority is to work in the living areas most affected by the disaster.
Services remain limited in hours:
- for the general public: 10 services of 4 hours maximum, per year and per customer;
- for vulnerable groups: 75 hours of service maximum, per year and per customer.
Conditions of application for the exception:
Who can carry out the work?
Only IDESS recognised for "DIY" activities can carry out this work, even if they are not located in the disaster areas.
Where can the work take place?
Work can only be carried out in disaster areas. The customer may own or rent the premises.
How to prove that you have suffered a loss
The customer must prove that they have suffered a loss through a certificate or other proof (provided by the municipality, insurance company, etc.).
If the customer lives in a municipality that has been declared a disaster area with specific disaster zones, they must live in one of these zones to benefit from this more extensive work.
Deadline for completion:
Work can be carried out within two years of the disaster. This rule applies as soon as the Walloon Region recognises a disaster area (e.g. for the floods in July 2021, work could be carried out until July 2023).
Compliance with other obligations:
IDESS must comply with all other legal obligations relating to their activity.
The development and maintenance of green spaces
- mowing the lawn,
- trimming a hedge,
- weeding around homes, yards and pavements,
- digging a garden or vegetable patch,
- cutting firewood,
- collecting and disposing of rubbish, leaves and branches,
- cleaning one or more graves,
- clearing snow from pavements.
Social transport
Transporting people who are disadvantaged by their financial situation, age, lack of mobility or geographical location for a variety of everyday occasions such as:
- shopping,
- taking part in a get-together,
- going to an administrative appointment,
- looking for a job,
- training,
- etc.
Social laundry
Providing low-cost washing machines and detergents.
Social shops
Selling food products and basic necessities at a lower price than large retailers.
This service is intended for people in vulnerable situations.
Cleaning premises (for small ASBLs)
Cleaning the offices and infrastructure of small ASBLs.
What are the rates and limits applied to the services offered by IDESS?
The rates and limits of the services offered by IDESS depend on the type of service and the status of the beneficiary. Service limitations may include, for example, restrictions on the surface area of green spaces to be maintained or the maximum number of annual hours allocated to each type of service.
